Allentown police called to Parkettes Gym for fight

Allentown police said they were called for a fight between two men at the Parkettes Gym.

Police said they were called about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday to the youth gymnastics center at 401 Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Jason Kapec claimed he got into an argument with the other man and the man struck him, according to court records.

But a coach at the gym told police she saw the 38-year-old Kapec choke the victim with his hands and push the man into the wall, records say.

Kapec then spit in the victim's face, the witness told police, and the victim then hit Kapec, records say.

Kapec, of the 100 block of North 12th Street in Allentown, is charged with simple assault and harassment. He was arraigned by District Judge Michael D'Amore and was sent to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of 10 percent of $10,000 bail.
